Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon Jam: Start by following your favorite bacon jam recipe to create that delicious topping, setting it aside once it’s ready.
- Mix the Turkey Patties: In a large bowl, combine the organic ground turkey with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, ground mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until everything is evenly blended.
- Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into medium-sized patties, about ½-inch thick.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and melt the vegan butter. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

- Make the BBQ Ranch Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, unsweetened almond milk, BBQ sauce, cilantro, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
- Assemble the Burgers: Grab your favorite buns and layer each with a turkey patty, bacon jam, pickles if using, and drizzle the BBQ ranch sauce.
